Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 818

Ray of Judgment looked at the declaration of battle on his table.

When was the last time Dawnlight had received a declaration of battle?

It had been many millennia ago.

Sending a declaration of battle represented entering a direct conflict with Dawnlight. The option to have an all-out war always had to be present in the declaration of battle. Otherwise, it would not be a declaration of battle.

Sending one to Dawnlight meant that the attacking force had to fight on Dawnlight's home turf. By itself, Dawnlight was already almost unbeatable, but with the help of its Formation Arrays, it would actually become unbeatable.

Dawnlight didn't specialize in Formation Arrays, but the ones it had were still of outstanding quality. Keeping several Fulfilled Crushers busy wouldn't be an issue.

If one wanted to have a mere chance to win against Dawnlight on their home turf, one needed to have at least ten Fulfilled Crushers more than them while also having at least one Unique Crusher.

By now, two of the other members of the Big Five could fulfill these requirements, but the battle would still be extremely risky. The existence of these Formation Arrays was the reason why none of the Big Five had attacked each other yet.

They needed to accumulate more power. They needed more Fulfilled Crushers.

And yet, here it was, a declaration of battle.

Someone was willing to fight Dawnlight on their home turf.

As Dawnlight's leadership looked at the declaration of battle, they mostly felt confusion.

Azure Comet.

Members: One. One Fulfilled Crusher.

Options: Two. War and refusal.

This declaration of battle was unreasonable. It was illogical. It made no sense.

Azure Comet had just managed to keep Dawnlight at bay with the help of the Four Dragons. He had been safe. He didn't need to fight them.

What was going on?

Why?

Wouldn't it have been better to send a diplomatic notice to Dawnlight, telling them that he was willing to enter a conflict? With his permission, the Four Dragons might have allowed Dawnlight to send a declaration of battle.

At that point, Azure Comet could've fought Dawnlight on his home turf with the help of his outstanding Formation Arrays.

Also, he was only a Fulfilled Crusher, and he was alone. If he were a Unique Crusher, this declaration of battle would be believable.

Dawnlight tried to find some hidden scheme in the declaration of battle.

There had to be one. After all, it would be suicidal for Azure Comet to come here by himself. He couldn't be that stupid, right?

The first suspicion was that the Four Dragons would secretly help Azure Comet, but that suspicion was quickly thrown out of the window.

Declarations of battle were not only protected by the Karmic Laws but also by the rules governing the Secondary Sector as imposed by the Contrast Empire. If the Four Dragons got involved without being named in the declaration of battle, the Contrast Empire would dissolve the Four Dragons and declare all their leaders criminals.

But then, what was Azure Comet's plan?

What was going on?

The second suspicion was more realistic. What if Azure Comet had advanced and had become a Sage?

Sages were not allowed to enter the Secondary Sector without explicit permission from the Contrast Empire, but Crushers inside the Secondary Sector could also advance. Of course, according to the rules, the newly advanced Sage was not allowed to enter any conflict and had to leave the Secondary Sector as quickly as possible after advancing.

Any new Sage had to leave the Secondary Sector within a single day after advancing via Teleportation Formation Array.

If Azure Comet had become a Sage, he had already broken several rules by sending this declaration of battle, and he would be deemed a criminal.

When Dawnlight saw the declaration of battle, they became unsure. Had Azure Comet become a Sage? Was he willing to essentially kill himself just to kill them?

But then, why would he even send a declaration of battle? Attacking them without notice would make more sense.

The third suspicion was that Azure Comet simply gambled on the assumption that Dawnlight would refuse to declare battle due to its crazy, illogical nature.

What if Dawnlight overthought and decided to refuse, just to be safe?

If they refused, Azure Comet would receive an absolutely massive amount of Karmic Luck due to their power and size. As someone who was suffering from Sin Flames, he was in desperate need of Karmic Luck.

Yet, that felt too far-fetched. Azure Comet couldn't be that stupid.

The last suspicion was that Azure Comet had reached his limit. What if the constant pain of the Sin Flames made him crazy, and he just wanted to kill himself in a blaze of glory?

That was the most likely reason for this declaration of battle.
